RFC 2874
Title: DNS Extensions to Support IPv6 Address Aggregation and Renumbering Author(s): M. Crawford, C. Huitema, S. Thomson Status: Standards Track Date: July 2000 Mailbox: crawdad@fnal.gov, huitema@research.telcordia.com, set@research.telcordia.com Pages: 20 Characters: 44204 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None

This document defines changes to the Domain Name System to support renumberable and aggregatable IPv6 addressing. The changes include a new resource record type to store an IPv6 address in a manner which expedites network renumbering and updated definitions of existing query types that return Internet addresses as part of additional section processing.
For lookups keyed on IPv6 addresses (often called reverse lookups), this document defines a new zone structure which allows a zone to be used without modification for parallel copies of an address space (as for a multihomed provider or site) and across network renumbering events.
This document is a product of the IPNG Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
